So I was a bigger O.A.R. fan than dispatch going into this concert, though I like them both. But what surprised me most is how much I enjoyed listening to dispatch. They had a really intimate feel and great vibe even though I was literally as far away from the stage as I could have been. O.A.R. was good as always, but I feel like they are a bit more into the jam band feel, which means the songs are stretched out too long with solos in every one. and you get to hear fewer of them. They play the good mix of old classics and new stuff. As a venue, Meriwether rocks! They made so many improvements over the years that it is still one of my favorite outdoor venues and a great place to bring family.
We had a great time. Bands were great. Especially G Love! Love to see him play any time!
Lines weren’t too long, the performance was amazing!
O.A.R. knows how to put on a good show. I loved the energy, setlist, and crowd engagement. One of the best shows I have ever been to!
They put on an amazing performance. Full show all the classics plus some new ones. Best in concert experience.
Getting in and out of merriweather was a breeze! The remodeled parts were also great. Never had to wait too long in a line. Downsides were the pit was way over sold, way too crowded. OAR was just okay, Dispatch was fantastic!
Another incredible OAR show. This was my first time seeing Dispatch and I will definitely see them again! The energy was incredible. I’d go to this show again and again if I could!
Can’t wait to see them again soon. Fantastic
Everything was great! Would see them again in a heartbeat!
Couldn't care less about O.A.R. We went for Dispatch but I missed the entire set because I was in line for beer for 30 minutes. Why Artpark does not have more than 2 beer stands for an entire concert venue I will never know.
We love Artpark and the beauty of being on the Niagara River! OAR was a fabulous concert. Never ever tire of the venue Artpark
This was a great tour- G Love and Dispatch were awesome openers and I was so excited when G Love came back out to perform "Ring of Fire" with OAR. I had never seen OAR before and their performance was fantastic. Powerful voice, energetic and skilled musicians, this was an excellent show at Artpark!
I’ve been an OER fan since they played my small college while I was still in high school. As one of the first bands I ever heard play, I didn’t realize the impact the band would have on my life. I have grown along with the band, and as their music progresses so does my life. As the sixth time seeing O.A.R. at Artpark, they never disappoint, and I know as I’ve seen them in multiple local venues over the years.
Love the band, but hate Artpark! 27 Billion cops, super overzealous security. They sell the huge beers, and the multitude of police officers run dwi tests.
Amazing night and tonnes of fun. Artpark never disappoints (when it’s not raining!)
Dispatch was unreal. Venue is awesome and parking was so easy. By far the worst OAR concert I’ve seen in 19 years. All new songs zero energy and when they actually played some old stuff the place was rockin’
Short show, missed many classics. Crazy game of poker was 3 minutes of a much longer song. Been to many oar shows, this by far the worst
One of the best live bands. Entire venue stood through entire show.
All 3 acts were great. Definitely did not expect OAR to bring it like that!
